This is not a guilt trip, we are extremely blessed to be living in North America or some other developed nation where opportunities abound. But to whom much is given, much is expected. It is your duty to succeed, and despite the challenges you have faced, they are by no means an excuse. I grew up in a third world country, and have many relatives who would be thrilled to be offered the chance to live in North America. They do what they can to get by, feed their families, raise their kids - not unlike us over here... but they have very little to aspire in the way of opportunity. In North America, we can aspire to the heights of society, finance, status, fame, etc and with hard work and some help, we can achieve it in our lifetime as a select few have. Sure its slim, but the chance exists. I feel a responsibility to make the most of my life. Do you? What would a successful life look like to you? Try exploring your dreams beyond the typical riches and faming dream. John Maxwell says 'Success is knowing your purpose, growing to reach your maximum potential and sowing seeds that benefit others.' My definition of success is actively closing the gap between whom you are now and who God purposed you to be. The big question is, 'What is your purpose?' Here are some foundational principles on purpose, that apply to any created or invented things or being. 1. Everything is life has a purpose 2. Not every purpose is known 3. If you don't know the purpose of a thing, you will abuse it. (E.g. a surgeon's scalpel can be used to save or take a life.) 4. If you want to know the purpose of a thing, never ask the things. 5. The purpose of a thing is only found in the mind of the maker of that thing. Only the original manufacturer of a car can know the full purpose of the car and each of its components. Only they know the potential and can give correct directions of use. Everyone else is guessing. You won't find a Ford Manual in a Toyota Car, neither could you get one to fix the other's product. (Without voiding the warranty and performance guarantee!) Purpose while it may seem obvious is actually hard to pin down. Myles Munroe has put it best: Purpose is the original intent for the reason of the making of a thing. OR Purpose is what caused the maker to make something. OR Purpose is what was wanted, that made a maker make a thing. What a maker made was created to produce what he wanted. What he wanted was purpose, what he made was product. Product comes after purpose and product is created to produce purpose. I know its heavy - but its true. E.g. Man wanted an easy way to light fire (purpose), so he invented matches (product) The fact that you exist implies that there was a purpose behind your creation. No, it wasn't an accident (no matter how you were conceived) and your success in life is determined, not by how much you make or spend, or what people may say. Success in this life is determined by whether you have fulfilled your purpose, and every second that goes by ought to be spent in the pursuit of that purpose.
In fact succeeding is not so much about achieving, but being on the journey towards what we were born to do... Challenge yourself to live a life of purpose. Seek out that purpose - only your Maker can reveal that - don't let people put you in a box! Always Live your Life on Purpose!

Whistle while you work Mark Twain (1835-1910) believed that having fun is important if you want to be successful. 'The secret of success is making your vocation your vacation.'Mark Twain must have had fun as a writer. His sense of fun emerges in his stories. He clearly enjoyed his work as a writer. No wonder he lived to a good age for those days. He learned as a boy how to turn work into a vacation. I owe the following story about him to Alan Elliott and Josh Hinds. In the 1830's Mark Twain disobeyed his mother by ta… 3. Make your dreams reachable All too often, we may be envisioning a level of success, which is far beyond what we can realistically accept and thus fall short of full manifestation. However, if we can envision a period of time in which our success can gradually increase, quite often our subconscious can more easily accept it. However, allowing ourselves to get comfortably accustomed to a steadily increasing flow of abundance in our lives tends to stabilize it for us. We've all heard stories about people who won the lottery … 4. Goals . . . or Dreams Goals . . . or Dreams? Copyright © Darlene Styers 2003As told by my mother, my dolls began going to Business College and having Big Church Weddings at the time I was about 3 years of age. You may not find that so strange, but let me finish the story . . . I grew up in a very poor family. My father was a share cropper on a cotton farm in Southeast Missouri.
